Lacyniak was previously charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in 1997, according to court records.

The following year, the then-20-year-old received concurrent 50- and 25-year prison sentences following a jury trial before Judge Michael Toomin, court records show. But an appeals court ordered a new trial for Lacyniak in 2004.

In 2006, Lacyniak pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was later allowed to withdraw his guilty plea, records show.

Lacyniak is expected to appear before a Criminal Courts judge this afternoon for a bond hearing.
